Back in December Barry had mentioned that he was exploring adding nntp (and IMAP) support to the archives, but didn't clarify much further... and I googled quite a bit, and these 2 or 3 posts on the subject is all I could find.:
Re: [Mailman-Users] NNTP server for "local" newsgroups ?
Yep, this hasn't actually been implemented yet.
My question is - would this (hopefully? please!?) also include posting support from a newsreader, so that nntp users could also interact with the list discussion(s) using their preferred newsreader? Or was this for reading only?
I mostly imagine this as a read-only service, but if the authentication issues can be worked out, I see no reason why posting via NNTP couldn't be allowed should the list and site admins choose to do so.
